Oh dear; how sad I hope she turns up soon, unharmed.

InLoveWithSweenyTodd · 16/01/2008 10:51

Just to point out that Huelva is not Portugal but Spain.

MrsKitVonD · 16/01/2008 10:52

bloody hell, how awful, related or not.

It's those McCann detectives again, I see. Sounds as if, having tried "it was a greasy Moroccan what did it, we've got witnesses" and "it was Robert Murat what did it, we've got witnesses" (oh, and a brief excusrion into the combination version "It was Robert Murat's girlfriend what did it, in Morocco, and we've got witnesses") they are moving on to "it's a serial abductor what did it."

Well good luck to them, and it's what they're paid to do, but I wish they'd get their story straight and stop insulting our intelligences.

I love the way the article is about another little girl missing, yet shows only loads of photos of MC. Is the other girl not so important to try to find? Her picture is irrelevant?

lucy5 · 16/01/2008 11:29

I thought that too Ernest!

TartanKnickers · 16/01/2008 11:31

Maybe it was the McCanns!!

They were in Huelva

Piffle · 16/01/2008 11:33

oh god here we go again
let's play that great game called
Let's speculate through the holes in our arses...

princessosyth · 16/01/2008 11:49

Well said Piffle.

Dropdeadfred · 16/01/2008 11:51

To echo what ernest said, I immediately thought upon hearing about this little girl, that the media and police should not be letting the MM case take centre stage here. The focus on MM needs to be swiftly moved away from the little Spanish girl's case. The two may be linked or perhaps it's just that there are similarities, but either way, this isn't about MM, it's about another little girl, and I'd worry if the media and detectives and so on were too busy harping on about MM to focus their attention fully on the Spanish child.

exactly.

donnie · 16/01/2008 13:30

agree with ernest.

mm22bys · 16/01/2008 15:26

It's really tragic, and I sincerely hope that she is found safe soon, but am I the only one who didn't understand fully the bit about her going to a shop to buy crisps? Can anyone clarify that bit for me?

Thanks,

Desiderata · 16/01/2008 15:32

How can any of us clarify that?

itsahardknocklife · 16/01/2008 15:37

I would have thought that a 5 year old wasn't really old enough to go to a shop on their own yet. But I guess we don't know the full details yet.

Kimi · 16/01/2008 15:58

Ernest, that was the first thing I thought when I saw it.

Poor little girl, but I think 5 is far too young to be let to the shop on your own.
I hope she is found safe and well.

seeker · 16/01/2008 16:05

In a small town a 5 year old could easily be going to a shop at the corner of the road to buy crisps.

120 miles is a long way - however much the media are saying "just 120 miles" to make a prurient connection.

The two events are completely unrelated - but I don't know why I am saying this because the ghouls will be hovering round anyway.

Kimi · 16/01/2008 16:12

120 miles is London to Somerset, would we all assume if a child from London and a child from Somerset went missing it would be related?

I think it just keeps the McCann publicity mill going tbh.

3andnomore · 16/01/2008 16:16

How sad for the family of little Mari...

But indeed, wtf are there just Madeleine Pictures none of the new girl....

and Kimi you do have a point there;

as for those criticising the parents of teh 5 year old for letting her go to the shop alone...I would think it would really depend on what kind of communicty they are living, etc....

wannaBe · 16/01/2008 16:27

I wish clarrence mitchell would shut up.

A child has gone missing, and all attention should be focussed on that child but oh no, it all has to come back to Madeleine Mccann .

bossybritches · 16/01/2008 16:31

Well what's the betting that as this poor little one is from a gypsy family, the media puts a totally different spin on things & sadly it will probably drop from public eye far quicker than the other case.
